If you don't know how to play diplomacy, that's fine, just tell me and I'll give you the basic rules.


If anything's unclear, or you have any comments, tell me. (I want to make sure this is balanced)

Things I have to do:

-designate sea zones

Lastly, I claim The Empire of Texas

[LLR]

How do you play?

[LLR]

Can I be Cascadia?

Yep! You know how to play, right?

[LLR]

Wait.  Need a better map.  Can you please delineate the sea provinces?  The Gulf of Mexico, Chesapeake Bay, and Great Lakes are of particular strategic importance

Also, which of the beginning units are fleets vs. armies?

I'd make a better map, but I don't have Photoshop/MS Paint . I'll think about sea zones, not quite sure yet.

as to fleets/armies:

fleets are in ME, VA, FL, AZ, OR, WA, and MI

[LLR]

Alright, here's the complete map, with sea zones, drawn terribly.



Please note that for New York there are North and South coasts. To clarify some things:

MA borders both sea zones it's near. DE borders thee New Jersey-area sea zone and Maryland borders the "Chesapeake" zone.

Signups are, of course, still open! Thanks!

There's a sea connection between Arizona and Hawaii?

Yes, otherwise it's too hard for Texas, who are bad enough as it is, to get any neutral supply centers.

[LLR]

Ok! It's full! Thanks, guys. I'll change the title and begin to prepare when I get home. Good luck!

[LLR]

The map you posted just says "no direct linking." Could you post it with something that doesn't do that?

Yeah, I'll fix it tomorrow. Sorry!

[LLR]

Question: what are the rules regarding the four corners states? For example, could I move from Utah to New Mexico or vice versa? (Same with Arizona and Colorado.)

I've thought about it, and - executive order - you're not allowed.

TURN 1: Rules and Stuff

For turn 1 (Spring 2001), all orders are due at 8 PM EST on Sunday, July 24th. You will PM them to me. Late orders will be tolerated, I'm a nice guy . If you can't make it, either tell me and we can work something out, or send them early. I promise I won't look.

You may use this board to post public information and ask questions and PM for other communication purposes (I honestly don't care how y'all communicate.)

The map has been posted in two places, you can find it easily I trust.

I'll join as Cascadia if its still open

[LLR]

Wait a second...

I accidentally asked for two builds, and LLR didn't notice.

So it doesn't look like I'm cheating, I hereby forfeit the build in CT.

Oops...

[LLR]

You all submitted your orders on time! Good job! (Don't believe that's happened before).

I'll process them tomorrow morning.
